Adjusting the Screen Timeout
When your NOOK has been sitting idle for some amount of time and no activity has taken place (e.g., you haven't
tapped the screen or pressed any buttons), your NOOK turns off its screen to conserve power. To turn on the
screen again, simply press the NOOK button on the lower front panel.
By default, your NOOK waits 2 minutes before turning off the screen.
To adjust the screen timeout for your NOOK, do this:
1. On the Setting screen, tap Screen.
2. On the Screen Settings page, tap the menu choice Screen timeout.
A dialog box appears with four menu choices:
• 2 minutes
• 5 minutes
• 15 minutes
• 1 hour
3. Tap on the menu choice listing the amount of time you want your NOOK to wait.
The dialog box closes. Your change takes effect right away.
